"We are extremely excited to have extended the contract of a franchise
cornerstone and one of the best players in the WNBA," said Lynx executive vice

league over the past several seasons and we are glad to have her playing in
her home state of Minnesota. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to watch
an outstanding individual like herself night in and out and we are thrilled
that she's decided to continue her career with the Lynx."
